METHOD OF DESTROYING FUNGI EMPLOYING ALKOXYBENZYL ALKANOL AMINES Janie! S. Eden, Akron, Ohio, assigns: t l'itmnond Alkali Company, Cleveland, Dine, at eor oi-atien'of Delaware No Drawing. Application October s, 1956 Serial No. 614,363
3 Claims. (Cl. 167-30) This invention relates to novel alkditybenzyl alkanolamines.
compounds having the structure wherein R is a hydroxy alkyl group such as CH,CH =OH or CH CH CH -OH. Illustrative specific compounds of the above type are the compounds having the structure 2- (p-methoxybenzylamino) ethanol 3 -(p-methoxybenzylamino -propanol Compounds of the above type are useful in a number of applications such as biologically active materials in formulations adopted for use as fungicides as well as in other uses.
The materials can be prepared by combining an alkanolamine such as ethanolamine or S-amino propanol, with anisaldehyde and catalytically hydrogenating this mixture. Initial reactionto remove water desirably. is carried out in an organic solvent, e.g., benzene, at an elevated temperature. The benzene is removed and the mixture catalytically hydrogenated using a catalyst such as platinum oxide (Pt with vacum distillation or other separation means to recover the desired product.
In order that those skilled in the art may more completely understand the present invention and the preferred methods by which the same may be carried into effect, the following specific examples are offered:
EXAMPLE I (Part A) water is collected in a water separator. Benzene is then removed by distillation at atmospheric pressure. One half the thus-treated material is catalytically hydrogenated by dissolving it in 250 m1. of methanol and adding 1.0 gm. platinum oxide (PtO Catalytic hydrogenation is carried out at an initial hydrogen pressure of 65 p.s.i.g.,
the pressure decreasing to 22.5 p.s.i.g. at the end of the hydrogenation. Methanol is then removed by distillation at atmospheric pressure and the product is vacuum distilled at 145 --147 C. at 2-2.3 mm. Hg to yield a color less oil weighing 147 gm.
More specifically the present invention relates to novel 2,927,053 H l aten ted Mar. 1, 1960 chemical analysis ofthis product indicates preparation of the desired C H NO and is as follows:
Element Percent; Peroeiit Actual Calculated The zap-merhexybenzylami methanol thus pre ared has a refractive inde'ii'.- of 1.5461 at 20 C. x
To illustrate the biological activity of the product "of Part A; fungicidal test's'are conducted against early to mato blight fungus Alternaria solani. .In this procedure; the product of Part A is employed as aqueous fofmu= lations at concentrations of 2000 and 400 p.p.m., rs'pc= tively (using 5% acetone and 0.01% Triton X-l55 (alkyl aryl polyether alcohol) as an emulsifier) These formulations are applied to growing tomato plants (var. Boiiny Best), 5 to 7 inches tall. These formulations are sprayed on the plants and allowed to dry; comparable untreated plants are sprayed with the same formulation, less the toxic-ant. .The thus-treated plants are then sprayed with a spore suspension containing approximately 20,000
Y: conidia of Alternaria solani per ml. and held at 100% relative. humidity for 24 hours at 70 F. and are then disease control based on the number of lesions obtained on the control plant-i Following this procedure, it is observed that at the concentrations 6f 2000 and 400 ppm, respectively, the product of Part A is efiective in obtaining a 98% and disease control, respectively, thus indicating a high degree of fungicidal effectiveness.
EXAMPLE II (Part A) PREPARATION OF B-(p-METHOXYBENZYLAMINO)- PROPANOL A mixture of 75 gm. (1 mol) of 3-aminopropanol, 136
gm. (1 mol) of anisaldehyde and 300 ml. of benzene is refluxed under a water separator for 3 hours until 19 ml. of water is collected. The benzene is then removed by distillation at atmospheric pressure. One-half the thusprepared mixture is subjected to catalytic hydrogenation using 1.0 gm. of platinum oxide (PtO as catalyst and 250 ml. of methanol, initially adjusting the hydrogen pressure to 65 p.s.i.g. Hydrogenation proceeds until the pressure reaches 23 p.s.i.g.
Following catalytic hydrogenation, the platinum oxide (PtO is removed and the methanol separated by distillation. The resultant product is then distilled at 162- 165 C. at 2.53 mm. Hgto obtain a colorless liquid weighing 169 gm. Chemical analysis of thisproduct indicates the formation of the desired C H N0 and is as follows: a
The procedure of Example I, Part B is repeated using the product of Example II, Part A at a concentration of 4000 p.p.m. A 79% disease control is observed, thus indicating a high degree of fungicidal efiectiveness.
Compounds of this invention exhibit biological activity as heretofore shown. These compounds are to be em-"'" ployed in a variety of formulations both liquid and solid including finely-divided powders, granular materials, as well as those liquid solutions, concentrates, emulsifiable concentrates, slurries, and the like, depending upon the application intended and the formulation media employed.
Hence, it will be appreciated that it is contemplated the compounds used in this invention form biologically active materials which can be employed as an essential ingredient in various compositions which may include such-diluents, extenders, fillers, conditioners, solvents and the like as various clays, diatomaceous earth, talc, spent catalyst, alumina silica materials and such liquids as water and various organic liquids such as acetone, kerosene, benzene, toluene, xylene, 'andother petroleum distillate fractions or mixtures thereof. When liquid formulations within the full intended scope of this invention as defined by the appended claims. f

2. The method of controlling fungus growth which comprises applying as a fungicide a composition containing as an essential active ingredient a compound having the formula cmoomNH-oalorrlorr 3.v The method of controlling fungus growth which comprises applying as a fungicide a composition containing as an essential active ingredient a compound having the formula 1 a References Cited in the file of this patent -UNITED STATES PATENTS 2,430,722 Ladd etal, Nov. 11, 1947 2,545,498 -Sonder1i et al.
